When the wind lays down… you go. Then straight to the reef for a cooler full of yellowtail Sun out. Seas flat. Rods bent all day. Spring fishing in the Florida Keys is only getting better.

Offshore Fishing will pick up as the water temperature warms up.

The Mahi are showing up!!! Its getting to be that time of year when "The Green Guys" make their way through The Keys!!! If this year's bite is anywhere close to last years, it will be awesome!!! Last year we averaged about 26 inch Mahi. Somedays were better than others...

Somedays were better than others but we caught fish!!!
The thrill of the hunt and hearing the drag peeling off is what makes it fun!!!
Blackfin Tuna are hanging off the reef in about 250ft of water, which is a hop skip and a jump from land.
The spring currents and winds are pushing the fish to us!! Its only going to get better!!!
And dont forget, along with The Green Guys, Wahoo are around as well!!
